Front

What does it mean to add like terms?

Back

Adding like terms means to combine terms that have the same variable and exponent, resulting in a single term.

Front

What is the simplified form of 6t + 7?

Back

The expression is already simplified as 6t + 7.

Front

What is the first step in simplifying an expression with like terms?

Back

Identify and group the like terms together.

Front

Can constants be considered like terms?

Back

Yes, constants (numbers without variables) can be combined as like terms.

Front

What is the result of 4x + 3x - 2x?

Back

Combine like terms: 4x + 3x - 2x = 5x.
